For the sake of peace, THE Chinese People's VOLUNTEERS held high the banner of justice against aggression, crossed the YALu River with high spirits, fought side by side with the Korean people and army, and finally won a great victory after two years and nine months of bloody struggle.

 

 

 

Why would the newly founded new China go abroad to fight a war in which the power of the two sides is extremely unequal? Why was this "nation-building war" for peace won? What does this hard-won victory mean for us to realize our great dream in the new era?

 

1. War should and must be fought

 

 

 

October 19, 1950, night, Yalu River. "Across the river! In the faint starlight, the then commander of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers Wu Ruilin's nerves have been tight, four months ago still in the Greater Khingan Mountains land expansion he did not expect that the day of reclamation is over. From this day on, the Chinese people's volunteers went abroad to fight, the great war to resist the United States and aid Korea opened the prelude.

 

"The Chinese people love and cherish peace, and this is a war imposed on the Chinese people by imperialist aggressors." ShaoShan said, deputy director of the Korean memorial palace in June 1950, the Korean civil war, the United States armed intervention immediately, at the same time sent the 7th fleet into the Taiwan strait, China later sent aircraft bombing of China's northeast border for many times, despite the Chinese government has repeatedly warned that the brazen across the 38th parallel, the war to the yalu river.

 

On August 27, 1950, four American planes invaded Linjiang County, Liaodong Province (now Linjiang City, Jilin Province), strafing the county seat and the station. Two American planes invaded Andong Airport, killing 3 workers and injuring 19 others. On August 29, after reconnaissance, the U.S. military aircraft shot at the civilian boat, killing 4 fishermen...... Anti-american and Aid Korea Memorial Hall explainer Gao Zhenzhen told reporters about the scene of the U.S. bombing, "my grandfather was 18 years old at that time, in Andong city (now Dandong city) three road shop apprentice, aircraft bombing will blow the ground out of a crater, the blood in the crater of water dyed red."

 

 

 

The newly born People's Republic of China is in ruins. In the face of aggression, retreat and compromise or rise up? At the request of the Korean Workers' Party and the Korean government, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Korea, under extremely difficult circumstances, decided, "We should and must go to war. War benefit is great, do not go to war damage is great "of the wise decision of fighting the United States aid Korea to protect the country.

 

At the critical moment of the fate of the nation, in the face of a powerful and brutal aggressor, the Chinese Communists were not intimidated, but with the heroic spirit of "to strike a blow to open, lest a hundred blows come". History tells us that to carry out the great cause of rejuvenation, we must unwaveringly uphold the Party's leadership in all work.

 

2. Dare to fight and be good at fighting

 

At the Memorial Hall to Resist America and Aid Korea, a floor-to-ceiling vitrine displays a comparison of Chinese and American military equipment.

 

Us Army: tanks, planes, advanced modern weapons, well-made leather boots, coats...

 

Chinese People's Volunteer Army: "made in all countries" guns, ordinary cotton-padded clothes, yellow rubber shoes...

 

Just get up from the ruins of war, new China is in such a highly symmetrical, extremely difficult circumstances, the Chinese people's volunteers works closely with the army, opening LiangShuiDong, pitched battles cloud mountain city, from the familiar, battle long lake, tianjin, have fought battles, 5 times the enemy from the yalu back into the "38th parallel".

 

"I do not believe that there are tasks that cannot be accomplished, difficulties that cannot be overcome, and enemies that cannot be defeated." When Yang Gensi, commander of the 3rd company of 172nd Regiment, 58th Division of the 20th Army of Chinese People's Volunteer Army, shouted this slogan, the mobilization meeting into the North burst into applause.

 

"Behind three disbelievers are three believers." "Trust in the decisions of the Party Central Committee, trust in the talents of the soldiers, trust in the victory of the people, and all this is a reflection of the decisive role of the Party in the people's army," Mr. Miyaosama told reporters. With "steel less gas more" to "steel more gas less", the majority of volunteer soldiers and men obey the leadership of the party, give play to the advantages of military democracy, came up with a clever plan to break the enemy.

 

White snow covers Garil Mountain, North Korea, in December. As one of the key points in the second battle, the hilltop position was always the focus of the two sides. Before the battle, in order to prevent the sound of cotton shoes and snow from exposing the target, Jin Haifang, commander of the 4th Company of 340th Regiment, 114th Division of the 38th Army, ordered the whole platoon to go up the hill with bare feet to meet the enemy covertly. "The enemy didn't see us until we reached the top of the mountain," Jin recalled. "The battle was settled in a flash."

 

In the face of risks and challenges from all sides and obstacles and pressures, the Chinese people have always been able to overcome mountains, build Bridges, show their wisdom and courage, and forge ahead with determination to "fight their way out". They used close combat and night combat to break the enemy's firepower advantage, and used air-raid shelters and anti-aircraft sentry posts to solve the enemy's aerial problems. The wisdom and wisdom of the volunteers were greatly exerted in the anti-US and aid to the DPRK. At the Battle of Shangganling, the volunteers' skilful tunnel tactics defeated Van Vret, known for his superior firepower doctrine, and the American Army realized that the Korean War was never going to be won again. The battle of Chosin Lake was the "longest retreat" the American ace force had ever experienced.

 

All four problems, one by one, have been solved. Our military is stronger than it was in Vietnam."

 

On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed.
